The Fratellis "Milk and Money" guitar chords

The second Fratellis album "Here we Stand" never quite got to me in the way that the debut album "Costello Music" did. Never sure why? I suppose when any band produces such a brilliant first album, topping it is always gonna be difficult.

But I have previously posted a couple of the gems to my Fratellis song chords page - "Look out Sunshine" and "Mistress Mabel", the first two singles from the album.

Just giving it a fresh listen, and the track that stood out this time was "Milk and Money", which has a lyrical ballady bit, and ends with the usual raucous rumpus you expect from Glasgow's finest.

I've worked out my interpretation of the chords and lyrics of "Milk and Money", and added it to my Fratellis song chords page:

The Fratellis guitar chords and lyrics - Milk and Money

Chords are quite playable, even for 'newbie' players, with the verse consisting of C Am Dm G, and the Chorus having C C7 F Fm. Even the frenetic bit at the end ( which you might wanna avoid if your playing on acoustic ) only uses chords Am G F and Em - but the chord changes can be hard to catch just right!



Play along with the song on the video above, or on Youtube at Fratellis "Milk and Money" on Youtube

Muse "Uprising" guitar chords and lyrics

Strangely enough, this is the first song I've posted from Devon's finest alternative rockers Muse. I guess I didn't really see them as a 'guitar band', or at least thought their songs weren't suited to early learners and acoustic players. Their earlier stuff sounded very close to Radiohead ( not that that's a bad thing! ), but on their newer songs, particularly the 2009 album Resistance, from which Uprising is taken, they have most certainly stamped their own sound.

Uprising can sound fine without the synth effects, and has only 4 chords - Dm, Gm, F and A, so should be within the grasp of most early learning guitarists.

I've worked out chords for "Uprising" for my Rock songs chords page, you can find it at the link below:
